Draft. Dark mahogony beer with a dark tan head. Chocolate and light malt aroma. Chocolate and light malt flavor with8 light backing hops. Medium bodied. Chocolate and light malt lingers with light caramel.

Draft at Beer Revolution for the John Martin tribute event. It pours dark brown with a nice tan head. The aroma has huge dark chocolate and cocoa powder notes and a bit of dry toast. Very toasty and chocolaty. The flavor has tons of dark bitter chocolate and burnt toast with a dry roasted bitter finish. Another overpowering brew from Drakes that focuses more on the chocolate than the beer. I liked it, but I have to admit a pint was way too much to handle. Very good chocolate beer though, if you like that kind of thing.
